This was the first recipe I tried out of my Paleo Primer, and it was amazing ! You can use it as a side dish or as a post-workout meal. The sweetness of the potato and the heat from the Chorizo was a wonderful variation, the kale adds a nice texture to the mash. I’m excited to have something new to make to replace my old sour cream garlic mashed potatoes, so good but not a friend of Celiac’s Disease.

1. Steam your chopped potatoes for about 10 minutes, if you double up the recipe to serve more, make sure you leave enough room for the kale.

2. Add your kale to the steamer along with the sweet potato, steam about 5 minutes or until the potato become soft enough to mash by hand.

3. While your steam your veggies start to cook the chorizo on low heat in a non stick pan, or add just a tiny bit of coconut oil spray to keep them from sticking.

4. Remove your potato and kale from the steamer once you can easily stick a fork through the potato. Place in a separate bowl, Add 1 Tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper to taste, then mash all the ingredients together.

This recipe was inspired by Elena’s Pantry, however I added a few things and changed out the ground beef for a chopped slow cooked grass-fed roast I had leftover from two days earlier. You can always find a recipe and try and think of ways to use what you already have.in the kitchen. This helps keep our food budget under control and promotes creativity in the kitchen 🙂

Health Benefits

While cauliflower is not a well-studied cruciferous vegetable from a health standpoint, you will find several dozen studies linking cauliflower-containing diets to cancer prevention, particularly with respect to the following types of cancer: bladder cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and ovarian cancer. This connection between cauliflower and cancer prevention should not be surprising, since cauliflower provides special nutrient support for three body systems that are closely connected with cancer development as well as cancer prevention. These three systems are (1) the body’s detox system, (2) its antioxidant system, and (3) its inflammatory/anti-inflammatory system. Chronic imbalances in any of these three systems can increase risk of cancer, and when imbalances in all three systems occur simultaneously, the risk of cancer increases significantly.
